Count The Days (LYRICS)

If you don't
believe I'm leavin'
Just count the days I'm gone
yeah
If you don't believe I'm leavin'
Just count the days I'ma gone
yeah (1234567)
I gave you my heart
You gave me hurt
I gave you sugar
You gave me dirt
You said that I wouldn't have the nerve to leave
And if I did I'd be the one to grieve
If you don't believe I'm leavin'
Count the days I'm gone
yeah (1234567)
No more tears
I got someone new
To do the things
you refused to do
A woman needs care
love and protection
I could never find you
when I needed Affection
If you don't believe I'm leavin'
Just count the days I'm gone yeah
Oh you won't have the chance again to treat me wrong
It's been a long, long time comin'
and I’ll be a long, long time gone
If you don't believe I'm leavin'
Just count the days I'm gone yeah
If you don't believe I'm leavin'
Just count the days I'm gone yeah.
It’ll be a blue Monday
Hell on Thursday (count the days)
Weepin’ Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
yeah, lonely Wednesday




Hailed by Pitchfork as “one of pop’s great cult acts,” Swamp Dogg has spent the better part of the last 70 years pushing the boundaries of soul, funk, and R&B, rebelling against the confining racial and commercial politics of the music industry with more than two dozen critically acclaimed albums ranging from the radically subversive to the downright absurd.

With his remarkable new collection, Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St., Swamp Dogg adds yet another chapter to his endlessly surprising career, celebrating the sounds he grew up on in 1940s Virginia while at the same time shining a spotlight on bluegrass music’s deep African American roots. Produced by Ryan Olson and recorded with an all-star band including Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Chris Scruggs, Billy Contreras, and Kenny Vaughan, the collection is a riotous blend of past and present, one that filers the sacred and profane through a progressive Appalachian lens that nods to tradition without ever being bound by it. Special guests like Margo Price, Vernon Reid, Jenny Lewis, Justin Vernon, and The Cactus Blossoms all add to the excitement, but it’s ultimately the 81-year-old Swamp Dogg’s delivery—sly and playful and full of genuine joy and ache—that steals the show. The result is a record that’s as reverent as it is raunchy, a work that challenges conventional notions of genre and race as it combines lust and heartbreak, pain and ecstasy, revolution and ridiculousness the way only Swamp Dogg can.
